Quite usual for a JDW pub, tables slightly grubby. Service a little slow, but that could have been because there was only one barman serving.
A pint of "Veto" ale from Batemans was tasty and went well with a late breakfast. The kitchen did know how to serve eggs 'well done', which is not always the case with this chain!

This place gets shabbier by the day and boasts an increasing number of the types that failed their auditions for 'Shameless'. Pity, because they have a good ale selection that turns over pretty well but the disgusting, foul language - usually at high volume - is an off-put; if it wasn't for the ales, I wouldn't cross the threshold. Their sister pub, Lloyds (down by the cinema), has caught up on the ale front & now offers a similarly well-priced selection of ales with rather more civilised surroundings. Service in both remains traditionally indifferent Wetherspoons, so expect to be ignored for long periods and the occasional pint of sludge from the bottom of a cask. Generally, though, the ale is reasonably well kept. Rated 4 because they have the ales.

It's a Wetherspoons so you should know what to expect.
Old men drinking the cheapest ale on offer from 10 am and the usual mixture of unemployed and socially bereft denizens of Basingstoke on display in the smoking garden.
Food here can be particularly bad at weekends. Both service and quality.
